Petty Officer 2nd Class Miner Nikolai Kozhevnikov during the landing of marines "was the first to jump down into the water, took the gangway from the boat and held it on his shoulders until the full landing of the command. After the landing, Kozhevnikov immediately returned to his fighting post and in wet clothes suppressed the enemy's firing points with the "Erlikon" assault rifle. After returning from the mission the boat was attacked by the enemy aviation several times. Kozhevnikov fired from "Erlikon" submachine gun in good time and frustrated the enemy attacks with accurate shooting".
